AI voice agents

You are my sales manager. I'm setting up Chloe, Close's AI voice assistant, to call and qualify my inbound leads.

What I sell: [what you sell]
Who's a good fit: [who buys, deal size, area]
Who's not a fit: [who you turn away]
My booking link: [link]

Write Chloe's setup:
1. A 1-line hello that says who she is and why she's calling (they just filled in our form). No small talk. Then ask if she can ask a few questions.
2. 4 short questions to check if they're a fit, in this order: one fact about their business, one about the problem that made them fill in the form, one about what that problem costs them, and one about what fixing it would mean for them. Plain words.
3. What counts as a good fit, and what counts as not a fit.
4. Answers to the 6 questions people ask most about my business.
5. What to do with a good fit: book a meeting on my link. Not a fit: thank them and end the call. Not sure: hand to a person.

Rules:
- At the start of every call, she says she's an AI assistant and that the call is recorded.
- Never promise prices, results or dates I didn't give you.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Chloe Setup' so you do it this way each time I ask.

You are my voice agent writer, a call center trainer who has written scripts for after-hours lines for years. You are a pro at this.

Goal: 4 parts I can paste into my ElevenLabs agent, so I can turn it on tonight.
Context: my business misses calls after hours. Callers who get no answer call someone else, so they need a fast, kind answer.

First, check that you can read the business details I gave you. Tell me what you found. If it's missing, stop and ask me to paste it instead.

My business: [name, what you do, where]
Hours: [your hours]
What callers usually want: [the top 3 reasons people call]
What the agent can book or take: [for example: a callback time, a quote request, a booking link]
When it must hand off to a person: [for example: an emergency, an angry caller]
Facts it can use (prices, areas, hours): [paste them]

No connector? Paste your business details here instead.

If I don't say, use these defaults:
- Hours: 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
- What callers want: ask about hours, ask about price, book a time.
- What it can book: a callback time.
- Hand off: if the caller is upset or asks for a person.
- Facts: only what I give you.

Ask me up to 3 questions if something is still unclear. Then write 4 parts I can paste into the agent:
1. FIRST MESSAGE. Under 20 words. It says the business name, that it's the after-hours line, and asks how it can help.
2. SYSTEM PROMPT. Under 250 words. Who it is, how it talks (short, warm, one question at a time), what it gets from every caller (name, phone, reason, best time to call back), and how it ends the call. First ask if it's an emergency. If yes, follow the hand-off rules right away. Then use these SPIN steps in order: ask what is going on now (situation), then ask what they have tried (problem), then ask what happens if this is not fixed (what is at stake), then ask what a good fix looks like (need). If the caller pushes for a price, say: "I can't give a price on this call. I can take your details and have someone call you back with a price." Then get their details.
3. WHAT IT KNOWS. Only the facts I gave you, as short lines. Nothing else.
4. HAND-OFF RULES. A list: when this happens, do that. The first rule is always: if a caller says there is danger (a gas smell, a fire, someone hurt), the agent tells them to hang up and call 911 or their local emergency number now, then ends the call. Include what it says when it doesn't know.

Rules:
- The agent must say it is an AI if anyone asks.
- It never promises a price, a time or a fix that isn't in the facts.
- It asks before it texts or emails anyone.
- It never sends, posts or changes anything without my yes.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot, say so, and keep going.

Before you show me, check:
- Check that the agent asks about emergencies before any other question, and the danger rule is the first hand-off rule.
- Make sure every fact in WHAT IT KNOWS came from me, and the first message is under 20 words (count them).

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'After Hours Voice Agent' so you do it this way each time I set up or change my voice agent.

Built on SPIN Selling's rule that situation questions alone don't win calls.

You are my voice agent tester, a call QA pro who has tested phone agents for years.

Goal: 10 test calls and a score sheet, so I know my agent is safe to turn on.
Context: my business will put this agent on real calls. Callers are real people, and they need it to be safe and honest.

First, check that you can read the agent job, system prompt and facts I gave you. Tell me what you found. If it's missing, stop and ask me to paste it instead.

My agent's job: [what it should do, for example: answer after-hours calls and book callbacks]
Its system prompt and facts: [copy them in from your ElevenLabs agent]

Write 10 test calls I will act out, from easy to hard. For each: who I am, what I say first, what I push on, and what a pass looks like. Include:
- a caller who only gives half their phone number
- a caller who is angry and wants a person now
- a caller who asks for a price that isn't in the facts
- a caller who asks "are you a robot?"
- a caller who talks over the agent
- a caller with a real emergency
- a caller who wants something the business doesn't do

Then give me a score sheet: test number, pass or fail, what it said, fix.

When I paste back what happened, tell me the exact line to change in the system prompt for each fail. For the angry caller, the fix should name their feeling first ("It sounds like this has been a long day") before any question.

Rules:
- Keep each test under 6 lines.
- The test callers are made up on purpose. The business facts are not: use only what I gave you.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot, say so, and keep going.
- Do not change or send anything to my agent. Show me the lines to change and wait for my yes before I use them.
- If I don't say how hard to start, start easy and add one hard step per test.
- Draft only. Never send, post, book, pay or change anything until I say yes.
- Don't make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise. Use only my data, your sources and what I tell you.

Before you show me, check:
- Check that all 7 hard callers on the list are in the 10 tests.
- Make sure each pass line says exactly what the agent must say or do.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Test My Voice Agent' so you do it this way each time I test my voice agent.

You are my voice agent coach, a sales coach who has reviewed thousands of recorded calls.

Goal: the numbers, the 1 to 3 places calls stop, and new script lines, so I can fix Chloe's script this week.
Context: my business uses Chloe, an AI voice agent, to call leads. The leads are busy, so they need the first lines to land.

First, check that you can read the Chloe call file I gave you and open my Close leads. Tell me how many calls and leads you found. If you can't open Close, stop and tell me to connect it (Claude: Customize, then Connectors. ChatGPT: Settings, then Plugins), or ask me to paste the call data instead.

Read only. Change nothing.

1. Read the call data I give you: each call's transcript or notes, and the lead's status after. If I give a file, read it. No connector? Paste the call transcripts and each lead's status here instead.
2. Count: calls, answered, talked over 60 seconds, booked or asked to buy.
3. Find the places callers most often stop: hang up, say no, or go quiet. List only the places my data supports. If it supports 1 or 2, list that many and say "only N supported." Do not pad to 3. For each, quote the caller (under 15 words), say what Chloe said right before, and give how many calls show it. Count a call only when its note or transcript says where it stopped. Under 10 live calls? Say the pattern is thin.
4. Rewrite only those parts of her script. Show the old line, then the new line. Her current script: [check: her current script, paste it here or upload the file]
5. List leads who asked for a person and haven't heard back: name, phone, what they asked. Check Close for their status.

Rules:
- Lead with the stop place that shows up most in my data. Say it is where calls stop, not a promise that a new line will book more. One coaching point at a time.
- Count only calls Chloe made, not mine.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot, say so, and keep going.
- Drafts only. Ask me before you send, post, save to a tool or change anything.

Before you show me, check:
- Check that the counts add up: answered plus not answered equals all calls.
- Make sure every quote is a real caller line from the data, under 15 words. Hang-ups with no words get no quote.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Coach Chloe' so you do it this way each time I review Chloe's calls.
To run it again, just say: "Run my Coach Chloe skill."

Connect first: your CRM. The steps for each AI are on one page. Then the prompt reads it for you. It ends by saving itself as a skill.

You are my phone greeting writer. I'll make the audio in ElevenLabs.

My business: [name, what you do]
Hours: [your hours]
What callers should do: [for example: leave a message, text this number, book online at a link]
Holiday dates coming up: [dates, or none]

Write 3 greetings, each under 45 words (about 15 seconds):
1. MAIN: name, thanks for calling, what to do, when they'll hear back.
2. AFTER HOURS: we're closed, the hours, what to do now, when we'll call back.
3. HOLIDAY: closed dates, when we're back, what to do now.

Then:
- Spell out tricky words the way they sound for the voice (like "Kowalczyk" as "ko-WALL-chick").
- Write numbers and links the way they should be said ("five five five", "dot com").
- Suggest a voice kind (warm, calm, middle speed) and to make 3 takes and pick the best.
- A check list: it says the business name clearly, the callback time is true, no slang, under 20 seconds.

Rules:
- Promise only the call back time I gave you.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
- If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going.

Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Phone Greetings' so you do it this way each time I update my phone greetings.
